Yanick desperately tries to animate the tired part of our group to join punctually the other part at the Berliner Dom.

11:30 am
Reunited we meet BM a.D. Irmgard Schwätzer with whom we talk about the governmental impact on voluntary work. Some impressions :
She tells us that the state has to play a role in the future concerning volunteering action and considering the unemployment and the demographic change. However the state cannot determine voluntary work (as it is voluntary). A problem is that because of the demographic change there are less young people working. Another point is the the increase of life expectation. There are at least 10 years between the moment the person gets retired and the moment the person needs medical care. During this period he or she can do voluntary work. The age of the population doing volunteering work will therefore increase. Moreover these persons have high work experience.

1:15 pm
Divided into trinational groups we are set free for a ralley. We are given 5€ and a DFJW/OFAJ plastic handbag. Today’s challenge is to swap the most marvelous plastic bag for something more precious. Yeah!

3:00 pm
After having Spätzle and Oma’s Landkuchen, we swarm out to complete our mission. Some group even manages to swap four times, we end up with a bear glass and are curious about what the others got. Mission complete!

7:00 pm
We have rendez-vous with Max&Moritz next to the Prinzessinenstraße. Enjoying very German food we talk about what we experienced today. Yannick denies being tired.

See what the evening brings! Tomorrow will be a busy day and our last by the way…
